AUBURN, Ind. (WOWO): Three people are facing felony counterfeiting charges in three separate instances in Auburn.

Auburn Police responded to a report of counterfeit money on Dec. 18 of last year at the Burger King in the 1100 block of West Auburn Drive. Police say Eleisha Morris tried to pass two different $100 counterfeit bills.

In the second incident on Dec. 29, officers looked into a report of counterfeit cash at the Speedway gas station on 7th and Grandstaff Drive. Police arrested Ryan Bogatitus after he allegedly passed $1,200 in counterfeit $100 bills.

Then on Jan. 1 of this year, police learned of a counterfeit $100 bill used in St. Joe. Police say Dalton J. Smith ordered a Pizza from Marco’s Pizza in Leo, then had it delivered to an address in St. Joe when police say he used counterfeit money as payment.

All three suspects are facing a level 6 felony charge of counterfeiting.
